NBA Picks & Predictions

It is done ! The Heat are in the Eastern Conference Finals. The feat is no less for the band of coach Spoelstra. Before the start of the season, there were 4 favorites in this conference. Brooklyn, Milwaukee the defending champion, Philly and therefore Boston. Nobody saw the Miami Heat come to invite themselves in the last four and even less in the first place. The Heat didn't have such an easy journey though. The Florida franchise had an appointment with the Atlanta Hawks. The finalist last year against the Milwaukee Bucks. Everything went very well for the leader of the Eastern Conference, who won 4-1 by losing a single match on the score of 110 to 111 on the road. She found the Philly Sixers in the conference semifinals. The series was announced as potentially very indecisive. Rightly so with more or less similar numbers in terms of quality. But the injury of Jo Embiid for the first 2 games will allow Miami to take a definitive advantage 4-2. The Cameroonian was down and Miami was very lucky on the spot. Opposite, she will find a Boston team which is also coming back from nowhere this year. In the second part of the table around Christmas, the formation of Massachusetts quickly returned to the top 8. They were in the top 4 at the beginning of March, to finish the regular season in second place. If we compare a little with the other franchises, Boston's course is probably the most respectable, by far. The franchise stuck with Brooklyn in the first round. In short, before the start of the first meeting of this first round, Brooklyn was still favorite for the Eastern Conference title. But the Celtics pulled off the perfect streak, a 4-0 win over Kevin Durant's partners. In the semi against the defending champion, Milwaukee, it was much more difficult for the Greens who came close to elimination. Trailing 3-2 before a clash in the Fiserv Forum, Boston won Wisconsin 3-3 before unfolding last Sunday at 9:30 p.m. in Game 7 109-81.
